I've been after a cherryburst Sambora Strat forever, but wasn't happy going over £2000, especially given the condition of some of them, and kept losing out on ebay. So my quest began and, thanks to an unbelievable amount of help and advice from the amazing Ceri (thanks SO much man!), I now have my first CS Strat. A 2012 Custom Deluxe in faded cherry burst. It's actually not a million miles away from a Sambora, but sooooooooo much more pretty. This is without a doubt the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen or played. The neck, the Abby pickups, the finish, all of it just oozes quality.
I've been impressed recently with the quality of mid price guitars and love my MIM CP 50's Strat, but this is in a different league, different sport for that matter!! If anyone wonders if CS guitars are worth the extra money, I would say absolutely YES!!

Thanks all, it took a little finding but definitely worth it. I probably have spent as much time staring at it as I have playing it!!!

It does have a twin brother, but he's got more of a flame maple top. It was a difficult choice!
